1. We have audited the accompanying standalone
financial statements of Antony Waste Handling
Cell Limited (the ‘Company’), which comprise the
Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2026, the
Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone
Statement of Changes in Equity, and the Standalone
Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended,
and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including material accounting policy information and
other explanatory information.

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid standalone financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the
‘Act’) in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting
Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under section 133 of
the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March
2026, and its profit (including other comprehensive
income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for
the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’) together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the standalone financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code
of Ethics issued by the ICAI. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter - Search operation by
income tax department

4. We draw attention to note 41(A)(i) to the
accompanying standalone financial statements
regarding the search operation carried out by the
Income Tax Department in October 2021 and demand
orders received by the Company thereafter. Given the
uncertainty and pending outcome of the assessment
proceedings, the adjustment, if any, required to the
accompanying standalone financial statements
owing to the impact of aforesaid matter, is presently
not ascertainable. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter - Common control business
combination

5. We draw attention to note 49 to the accompanying
standalone financial statements, which describes that
pursuant to the scheme of merger by absorption (the
‘Scheme’) between the Company and AG Enviro Infra
Projects Private Limited (wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company) (the ‘Transferor Company’), as
approved by the Hon’ble National Company Law
Tribunal, Mumbai vide its order dated 18 December
2025, the business of the Transferor Company has
been transferred and merged with the Company
and accounted for in accordance with the approved
scheme and Appendix C to Ind AS 103 "Business
Combinations”, applicable to common control
business combination. Accordingly, the comparative
financial information for the previous year presented
in the accompanying standalone financial statements
has been restated from the beginning of the
preceding period, being 1 April 2024. Our opinion is
not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

6. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.

7. We have determined the matters described
below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our report.

Information other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

8. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible
for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Annual
Report but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The
Annual Report is expected to be made available to us
after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements
does not cover the other information and we will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes
available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those
Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements

9. The accompanying standalone financial statements have
been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for
the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation and presentation of these
standalone financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance
including other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act
and other accounting principles generally accepted in
India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and
estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls, that were operating effectively
for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

10. In preparing the standalone financial statements,
the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing
the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

11. The Board of Directors is also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

12. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the standalone financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on
Auditing will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these standalone financial statements.

13. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards
on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the
Act we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud
is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control;

• Obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate
internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements in place and the
operating effectiveness of such controls;

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by Company’s management;

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Company’s
Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast

significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the
related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern; and

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the
standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.

14. We communicate with those charged with
governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.

15. We also provide those charged with governance with
a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

16. From the matters communicated with those charged
with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.

Requirements

17. As required by section 197(16) of the Act, based

h) With respect to the adequacy of the internal
financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements of the Company as on 31
March 2026 and the operating effectiveness
of such controls, to our separate report in
Annexure - II, wherein we have expressed an
unmodified opinion; and

i) With respect to the other matters to be included

the standalone financial statements, has
disclosed the impact of pending litigations
on its financial position as at 31 March 2026;

ii. The Company did not have any long-term

or in any persons or entities, including
foreign entities (the ‘intermediaries’),
with the understanding, whether
recorded in writing or otherwise,
that the intermediary shall, whether,
directly or indirectly lend or invest in
other persons or entities identified
in any manner whatsoever by or
on behalf of the Company (the
‘Ultimate Beneficiaries’) or provide
any guarantee, security or the like on
behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;

b. The management has represented
that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, as disclosed in note 50(c) to
the standalone financial statements,
no funds have been received by the
Company from any persons or entities,
including foreign entities (the ‘Funding
Parties’), with the understanding,
whether recorded in writing or
otherwise, that the Company shall,
whether directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Funding Party
(‘Ultimate Beneficiaries’) or provide
any guarantee, security or the like on

c. Based on such audit procedures
performed as considered reasonable
and appropriate in the circumstances,

sub-clauses (a) and (b) above contain
any material misstatement.

v. As stated in note 36 to the accompanying
standalone financial statements, the Board
of Directors of the Company have proposed
final dividend for the year ended 31 March
2026 which is subject to the approval of the
members at the ensuing Annual General

the Company, in respect of financial year

However, the audit trail feature at the
database level in the accounting software
used for maintenance of accounting records
was not enabled up to 24 April 2025 and
the same did not operate throughout the
year for all relevant transactions recorded
in the software. During the course of our
audit, we did not come across any instance
of audit trail feature being tampered with
for the period where audit trail feature was
enabled. Further, the audit trail has been
preserved by the Company as per the
statutory requirements for record retention
where such feature was enabled.
